Logos that will be in trailer

I will use these to help structure the narrative in my trailer.
I am not going to place them straight after each other, there will be shots in between but this i will use this rather than using a voice over because i think it will be more effective for my type of trailer.
These are the shots I am going to be using in the order I will use them in.










I staggered the narrative part because I am going to fade it in when i add it to my trailer so it will look unplanned and not quite shocking but unexpected to viewers which connotes the style of the film.

Creating film titles

I am creating film titles to go into not only my trailer, but to go on my poster. I want to create something that will clearly show that it is a horror film.

The text I have chosen is called "Ghetto Marquee", I chose it because it looked unusual and it is almost eroded and eerie itself.


I am going to use a black background, I decided this because it is very typical of horror/ slasher films and I think that it makes the text stand out more. It gives a more claustrophobic type of feeling to the logo, because it is dark.
This is the first draft of my logo.


I asked some people what they thought of it and they said the text was good, but it looked too plain. I agreed that something was definatly missing to it.
I used different effects on the background such as lens flare, but playing with the lighting made it seem uneven and it made it look too light and i wanted it to be dark.
I tried to overlap the text with different brushes and I found a one that looked like blood had almost been splattered over the screen. I liked the effect it gave and here is the final film logo.


Once again i have slightly changed my film title design, using photoshop I added a glow to the text and slightly beveled the red effect over the top. This created a more realistic effect and I think it generally looks better.
Here is the final design.

Actors/actresses problems

I am in the progress of recording my trailer but due to my actors and actress's cancelling over the weekend of the 9th of october, i could not record the rest of my footage. Which puts me back one weekend over my action plan. To make up for lost time, instead of editing my trailer on the 11th October, i will create my poster.

New soundtrack/ problems with old soundtrack

Unfortunatley, we have just been informed that we can not use a copyright soundtrack wether we have been granted permission by the artist or record company or not. This causes a problem for me , because i am not familiar with using garage band and i do not have my own recording equiptment, I am going to use my friend, Jordan Paterson's music equiptment and recording gear to create a soundtrack that is perfect for my trailer. He has given me full permission and he is also going to briefly teach me how to use the equiptment.

New soundtrack
This is the soundtrack I have created using FL studio which is a software used to create music.
